Change in COVID-19 booster shots policy

Barbados has changed its policy on COVID-19 booster shots.

Ever since the country introduced boosters, many people have been asking which jab they should or could take.

Initially Barbadians were being told they had to stick to the original vaccine brand they took.

However, Co-coordinator of the National Vaccination Programme Dr. Elizabeth Ferdinand told CBC News the green light has been given for Bajans to switch brands if they want to.

However, she says the Johnson and Johnson one shot vaccines cannot be used as boosters.
